_To Mr. R―――― K――――n._
_Tottenham-Court, November 27, 1767._
_My dear Friend_,
NONE but GOD knows what a concern lies upon me now, in respect to
_Bethesda_. Friends can guess, and a little sympathize, and I thank
them for it; but the Friend of sinners alone can shew what is to be
done. At present, as to this particular, I walk in darkness, and have
no light. In other respects, blessed be GOD, the light shines as at
noon-day. Grace, grace! As another voyage perhaps may be the issue
and result of all at last, I would beg you and my dear Mr. _H――――y_
to let me have my papers and letters, that I may revise and dispose
of them in a proper manner. This can do no hurt, come life or come
death, or whether I stay at home or go abroad. Thanks be to GOD for a
disinterested spirit. Though in helping others we fetter ourselves, yet
in the end all will be well. I wait for thy salvation O LORD! In Him, I
am, my dear Sir,
Yours, &c. &c. &c. &c.
_G. W._
